Taxonomic list

Aves
 Enantiornithes - Bohaiornithidae
Longusunguis kurochkini n. gen. n. sp. Wang et al. 2014 bird
IVPP V 17964, a complete and articulated skeleton, preserved in a slab
Parabohaiornis martini n. gen. n. sp. Wang et al. 2014 bird
Holotype IVPP V 18691, a nearly complete and partially articulated skeleton, preserved in a single slab, which most likely represents a subadult individual based on the absence of fusion in some compound bones (e.g., carpometacarpus, tibiotarsus and tarsometatarsus); Referred specimen IVPP V 18690, an articulated partial skeleton (missing the skull, ulna, radius and hands), preserved in a single slab. The degree of fusion in compound bones (e.g. carpometacarpus and tarsometatarsus) indicates subadult status, although this specimen appears to be more mature than the holotype.
Bohaiornis guoi Hu et al. 2011 bird
